Nataly 38 #1 April 25, 2009 A bit of a spin-off from my IKEA post, but... So I open all the boxes and realise.. I don't have any tools Well, I do, but after searching various boxes for about an hour, I gave up and went to the tool shop around the corner. I was incredibly restrained.. I *only* bought a hammer, a common screw-driver and a philips tip screw-driver. I resisted the urge to buy anything that plugs in.. (Of course, I had a long lingering look in that section ).. When I got the the counter, I thought what the heck, I'll get a stubby multi-tip screw-driver as well. The guy behind the counter (the same one who volunteered to help me about 50 times when I was just browsing/drooling over the power tools) *immediately* advised me to get the larger multi-tip screw-driver and went into a spiel about how it was easier to work with, etc.. I smiled at him sweetly and pointed to my Jimmy Choo clutch bag.. "Yes, but the BIG one won't fit into my little purse." Ugh. Honestly.. Just because I'm sporting the latest shade of rouge absolue Lancome nail varnish *doesn't* mean I don't know that a longer tip means more torque. Jeeze boys.. No need to be so patronising when it comes to the tool-shopping!! Bigger is NOT always better!!!
